To write an equation look at what the problem is asking, Break the problem.The problem says the difference between 3 times a number. The problem is asking to refer to this number as X. Difference means subtracting, so this will be a subtraction equation. The quation says 3 times a number (X) witch would be 3X
The question also mentions the difference between 3X and 2. The equation would be 3X-2.
For extra points, you could write 3X-2=4.
